I questioned whether Kompany's record is the worst top-flight one of any Burnley manager, referring to Joe Brown's second half of the season performance in 1975-76. So I thought I'd check his record out. Brown was manager for the last 18 games: won 5, drew 3, lost 10. So 13 points at two for a win....

Just reading that has highlight how this season has been Even if both teams had played without keepers the score would have been 0-0 I can’t wait for this season to be over tbh. I know we were spoiled last season, but to go from that to this has been so disappointing. Beyond disappointing really al...

Dyche’s side was steadily improving through potentially to 2020 but then it stalled due to lack of investment in the squad. We stopped picking up home wins and that was crucial to us. The game after we won at Liverpool we beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home. Since that game we’ve won just 8 out of 48 home ...

We’ve also split the seating/standing tickets this time.

Now done - there was nothing available until some time after they went on sale

Prices now confirmed

Hard to believe it is 35 years ago but 97 people lost their lives through the events of that day and many, many more had their lives affected forever.

Today, above all days, is to have those people in your thoughts.

ClaretTony

Prices still to be confirmed but what I've picked up from Spurs, absolutely nothing from our club on them.

I haven't heard anything more but I share all the concerns shown on here, it really isn't looking too good right now. He's a battler though and hopefully no news is proving to be good news.

I think it’s more than likely we’d have picked up an extra 5 or 6 points with Pope between the sticks this season. Whether or not that would have been enough I don’t know. Newcastle have certainly missed him. I was talking to a couple of Mags recently and they believe the Pope injury derailed them ...

Fair play but if relegated you will see poorer referees. I have watched lots of games this season in all 4 divisions and the standard is very poor and do t have VAR to help in offsides Goals are given with scorers sometimes 2 yards offside The one bonus is there being no VAR. It’s damaged the game.

And to complete the list, once when Michael Jackson was in charge at Watford.

I tried to work it out in my head and got to 25 but both are really damming stats. Our record in all our premier league seasons after going behind is good at all. I remember in the 17-18 season when we came back to beat Everton at home 2-1 that was the first game we had come from behind to win a pr...

Oh no, fingers crossed

It was a shock to receive the message this afternoon Woking - I thought he was steadily showing some improvement. It's not good is it? I'm told his daughter has been asked to go down to Swansea.

Let's just hope things improve for him.

ClaretTony

Agreed-and another major stat being Luton have gained 12 points from losing position. That tells me there is maybe something wrong with our mentality, substitutions, moral or management of the team, and of course discipline (7 reds this season) Couldn't agree more - it's 24 points dropped I think r...

I'm on Sky too. Can't get anything at all on a regular match day, but had no issues today.

Strange - mine was fine once I got home and was fine until I tried to post the second goal.

I had no problem today 4G signal loud and proud ... but when its a full house its very slow :( I was OK initially and then nothing. Thought it was this site at first but I had no access at all.

Any idea who the trialist was? He looked good on the ball, few decent runs and passes even if he was trying to a bit too hard to make an impression at times, could tell he was on trial.

No idea who he was Mattster but totally agree with you on him looking good but possibly trying too hard.

ClaretTony

He was magnificent at Villa but then the surgery came and to be honest he’s offered precious little in the few games since he came back.

I know it's about opinions, but surely a mistake from a previous game should not be carried forward to affect the player ratings for this match.

No one said it did

ClaretTony

I’m afraid it’s not good news. Taffy has taken a turn for the worse. I have no further details but it’s not the news I wanted to hear.

ClaretTony

But really one sided and we could have won by a much bigger score.

ClaretTony

Sorry no updates from me. Must be the only ground in the country where I can’t get a signal.

First of all, lots of people who seem to can't wait to give Muric a 3. Bit sad IMO. What do you want people to give him? You gave him 5 which is below average. I believe a goalkeeper who for a second successive week has potentially cost us points with a catastrophic error cannot be rated at below a...

Found his introduction bizarre. He's not been deemed to warrant any game time since Luton at home, and no significant game time this year. Benson has had a couple of cameos recently and showed a threat against Wolves. He's also got the sort of whippy, dipping shot that's well suited to slippery, wi...

Well having seen it from 20 different angles on the screens at halftime, and again on MoTD, I have to say Bellamy is wrong.

And likewise, having seen it on MOTD, I also have to say that Bellamy is wrong.

Not watched that back but it looked a pen to me live. Assuming it wasn’t given lack of discussion on it…

Bellamy said it wasn't a pen

Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing years ago I don't think he was cleared - more that the case couldn't be proven. I know Jay well and was shocked at the time thinking he just couldn't do that and I had a massive row with Andy Naylor (then Brighton Argus and now Athletic) who was branding him ...

ClaretTony

That's true but why does the club pay the agents fee? Surely the player ought to pay the fee, after all the agent is working on the players behalf. And for the life in me I've never understood why clubs need an agent! Why doesn't the club employ a negotiator/lawyer to do the negotiating on their be...

I understand that CT, but the practice should be outlawed IMO. But then I’m an ideologist and I know it would never happen

Clubs ripped off players for years - so they got agents to look after their interests

It’s about time this was stopped. Players should pay their own agents out of their massive salaries and clubs should not be permitted to be affiliated with any of the parasites

Clubs also use agents to work for them on deals
